This kills the last excuse. Morgan McSweeney was warned. In writing. Before the appointment. Lord Glasman flagged Peter Mandelson’s Epstein ties and urged withdrawal and Keir Starmer’s inner circle pushed on anyway. That’s not a vetting failure. That’s a conscious decision. Now Downing Street refuses to sack McSweeney while pretending this is all “oversight”. No. It’s judgement and it’s disqualifying. When warnings are ignored, responsibility sticks.
